In the Lives of Puppets

by T.J. Klune

FOR HUMANITY: You kinda suck, but you invented books and music, so the universe will probably keep you around for a little bit longer. You got lucky. This time.

“You are as you’re supposed to be. I shouldn’t have questioned that. If there was ever perfection in this world, it would be you.”

A conscience is that still small voice that people won’t listen to. —Pinocchio (1940 film)

Sometimes, it’s the smallest things that can change everything when you least expect it.”

“What a strange existence we find ourselves in. I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world.”

“You were made to bring happiness. You are alive in ways we are not. You are soft and fragile. But you are complex and disturbing and sometimes foolishly brilliant.

Searching for a connection. Making something out of nothing so the spaces between us do not seem so far.”

“Because all beings deserve a chance to find out what life could be when they don’t have to serve others.”

‘I shall take the heart, for brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world.’”

There must be no greater feeling in the world than to know that this isn’t forever.”
